Elizabeth T. Drummey

Elizabeth is an independent scholar who received her Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of New Hampshire in 2025. Her research interests include overlooked Victorian women writers, the nineteenth-century literary marketplace, and the Gothic novel. Her dissertation, ‘“She wrote too much”: Overproduction, Canonicity, and Victorian Women Novelists’, explores how accusations of “writing too much” have kept prolific and popular novelists like Margaret Oliphant, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, and Charlotte Riddell out of the literary canon. Her article “‘A novel in two years was thought the proper course’: Overproduction and the Quality of Literature in Charlotte Riddell’s A Struggle for Fame” is forthcoming in Victoriographies.
